Kadhalan is a
1994 Tamil action-romance film written and directed by S. Shankar. The film had
Prabhu Deva and Nagma in the lead roles. The song Mukkabla from the movie,
became a national sensation, and owing to the rage that the song created,
Kadhalan was dubbed in Hindi as Humse Hai Muqabala and in Telugu as Premikudu.
The energetic dance movements of young Prabhu Deva took him to lofty heights ~
the comedy of Vadivelu as a college student ! was a great hit too.

The
"Mukkala ... Mukkabla" song composed by A.
R. Rahman with lyrics by Vaali was sung by
Mano, Swarnalatha and A. R. Rahman. The song was heard at every club,
disco, restaurant, marriage hall and street corner ~ in the end of the song….
Prabhu Deva would vanish in thin air with clothes falling down without any
support. In the song Prabhudeva was
picturised as a cowboy in a set erected by Thotta Tharani.

Away from Cinema,
how many hours daily do you spend on the internet – how many social net working
sites do you enter daily – and how much do you post on FB, Twitter, Instagram,
blog and more………..

When was the last time you
cleaned your table in Office and your house…. Over a small period, we tend to
collect so many things, which we may never use in life – but still accumulate
them…… and that applies more to e-property. Just casually stroll your Computer
or laptop – open say 25 word files at random, tell whether you really require
the info in them or the file itself – what was the % of ‘not required’ or ‘not
opened in recent 1 year’ … do you really require them and more importantly
would you remember where they are available and retrieve…. and what about the
dumps of data / photos / and other bytes that you post on the world wide web in
various forums and social networking sites……

If your growing weariness of
being constantly tethered to the internet becomes overwhelming, it might be
time to scrub yourself from the social media sphere altogether. One would wish
to get away without a trace and here is something on eliminating the digital
past - courtesy – gizmodo.com. Here's how you can become a ghost on the
Internet, by tracking down and eliminating your digital past. The technical
guide clarifies on self-destruction process from the mail accounts and from the
social media.

Facebook : FB makes it very obvious
how to deactivate one’s account; it's under Account Settings > Security >
Deactivate your account. Don't be fooled! Deactivation isn't deletion, and when
you chose this option, Facebook holds on to all your bits and pieces just in
case you change your mind. To truly nuke your account, you need to head to the
Delete My Account page and click the big blue button. That's it, you're
officially off Facebook. The process might take up to a fortnight to complete
since the system has to scan the entirety of itself making sure all data
related to you—every tagged picture, like, and mention—but when it's gone, it's
all gone. The process is irreversible.

However, if you want the treasure trove of pictures and updates living
on your hard drive, you can download the whole shebang by going to Account
Settings > General > Download a copy of your Facebook Data > Start My
Archive.

LinkedIn : Another easy one.
Head to the upper right hand corner of the page, and select Privacy &
Settings from the drop-down menu. From there, head to Account > Close Your
Account. Answer a quick question about why you're leaving (as if you need a
reason!), verify your account one more time, and then revel in the fact that
you'll never get LinkedIn spam again.

It'll take a while for all
professional network traces of you to leave Google and other search engines,
but you'll be purged before long.

Google+ : There's a decent
chance you're a Google+ member without even realizing it—which makes leaving
all the more compelling. It's also the most convoluted process of the four. You
got wedded to google – gmail, drive, you tube, blogger, picasa web, google
+ and more…

Cleaning Up the Scraps : Once
you've taken care of the four elephants in the room, it's time to go after your
smaller and older accounts. Luckily, there are tools for that like : Account
Killer; Just Delete Me; Knowem; and more…..

A friend of mine
who got so addicted to Facebook, just for the heck of it stayed away from FB
for a fortnight, but started feeling the pangs unbearable and then deleted his
account when he had 1000+ friends and when he was getting more than 100 likes
for every post of his… now he is a Internet ghost……..

You may not
want to become one, but one still should know that it is possible. Thanks to
htp://gizmodo.com/ on the post on how to erase yourself from the internet. Interesting !!!
